Publisher Description

NOW A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES

In their most daring misadventure, the Baudelaire orphans are adopted by very, very rich people, whose penthouse apartment is located mysteriously close to the place where all their misfortune began. Even though their new home in the city is fancy, and the children are clever and charming, I'm sorry to say that still, the unlucky orphans will encounter more disaster and woe.

In fact, in this sixth book in A Series of Unfortunate Events, the children will experience a darkened staircase, a red herring, an auction, parsley soda, some friends in a dire situation, a secret passageway, and pinstripe suits.

Both literary and irreverent, hilarious and deftly crafted, A Series of Unfortunate Events offers an exquisitely dark comedy in the tradition of Edward Gorey and Roald Dahl. Lemon Snicket's uproariously unhappy books continue to win readers, despite all his warnings.

"Way better than the last book!! There was actually a lot of action in this one, rather than some of the other ones...... But there was also a lot of detail that Lemony Snicket put into this book."

— Lynnse (4 out of 5 stars)

Quotes

  • “Despite Snicket’s perpetual caveats to ‘put this book down and pick up another one,’ the Baudelaires are dynamic characters who inspire loyalty to the inevitable end of the series.”

    — School Library Journal
  • “Tim Curry knows just how to deliver Snicket’s brand of alternately dry and over-the-top humor. The voices Curry creates are perfect.”

    — AudioFile
  • “Series fans will enjoy the quick pace, entertaining authorial asides, and over-the-top characterizations.”

    " Though the book's end hints at some very interesting mysteries for the Baudelaire children, this book was the least interesting of all of them. It is still a very good read and I look forward to continuing the series. "

    " Like happy books and nothing else? This series is not going to be your cup of tea. A SERIES OF UNFORTUNATE EVENTS is just as the title proclaimed, a string of catastrophic events centered around three orphaned siblings. Personally, I thought that Snicket did a fantastic job of the series (the fact that the 13th book was going to be released on Friday the 13th made me smile). Snicket's clever useage of dialect and plot, made the series enjoyable and hardly unfortunate. "

    " Molly has made a deal with me: if I read all 12 (13?) Lemony Snickets, she will try The Hobbit. I read books one through five already so now I'm going on with six. My favorite sentence in this one: "If you've ever been forced to take a chemistry class then you know..." "

    " I still love Snicket's style, but I'm getting tired of the same basic plot over and over. This is starting to feel unnecessarily drawn out. Hopefully, the next one will have something a bit less predictable. "
